Fibre Arts Festival 2014

Our 4th Fibre Arts Festival was a great success with more people attending than any previous year.
Our visitors thoroughly enjoyed the demonstrations, and the opportunity to have some hands-on experience, such as making embellishment flowers, rug hooking, weaving, paper making and painting on silk.

  

 

All of the beautiful and inspiring displays resulted in lots of positive feedback.
Of course it helps that all of our exhibitors and vendors are a personable bunch.  Many of our members helped out to make it an exceptional day. Many thanks to all!

Our 4th annual Fibre Arts Festival, took place in the lower level of the main branch of the Peterborough Public Library (Aylmer and Charlotte – see map here) on Saturday April 5th, from 10am to 3pm.
